According to the present invention, when agency 225 receives Web file from computer network, just intercept and capture this Web file, and handle this document, so that how control shows this document on browser.This feasible agency can dynamically adjust " apperance and the sensation " of specifying the Web file in the client of this connection, and does not consider this Web file is how to format on Web server and dispose.In example application,, when notifying some message of user (for example, weather warning, emergent message etc.), just Web file (or generally speaking, any hypertext document) is carried out format conversion as needs in case incident occurs.In preferred forms as described below, before showing the Web file on the browser, by increasing, delete, add or rewriteeing, change " apperance and the sensation " of this Web file from the html format data (being called " mark ") of the Web file of Web server retrieval.Like this, the agency has realized " dynamic HTML " processing and " filtration " of Web file.
The above operation of block representation among Fig. 4.Just as shown in the drawing, the agency comprises storer speed buffering 227 (with disk speed buffering option 234).As shown in Figure 4, in preferred forms, agency 225 is the HTTP HTTP caching proxy.Preferably HTTP Proxy is designed to meet Request for Comment (RFC) 2068, quotes RFC2068 here as a reference.This agency connects browser 221, by handling from network or the data returned from speed buffering 227, simplifies the control to " apperance and the sensation " of browser interface.Shown in following detailed description, the processing that utilizes strobe utility 229 to realize to the network retrieval data.Agency 225 also helps to realize more stable, more effective speed buffering 227, although this is not a part of the present invention.When the client sent HTTP GET request, the agency just represented browser 223 these requests of service.Browser need not to know local this service of handling, and just can realize above operation.
The special role of agency's strobe utility 229 of 225 is: before showing the Web file on the browser, by retrieval html file is carried out format conversion.As brief background, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) (HTML) use with<mark of symbolic representation and or the mark group, control the display message on the Web page or leaf.Therefore, for example, all html files must be with<HTML〉mark begins, and with</HTML〉mark finishes.Heading message such as file title is included in<HEAD〉and</HEAD〉between the mark group.According to<BODY〉and</BODY〉main body of tag format file.Therefore, for example, in order to control the background color of Web page or leaf,<BODY〉mark need comprise attribute " BGCOLOR value " (that is,<BODY BGCOLOR=" #FEAD00 "), this attribute is what to use with the hexadecimal representation of rgb value equivalence.Title mark<H〉and</H〉the control title shows, and this title is with respect to the size of Web page or leaf.The extended formatting mark comprises, but be not limited to, the description document title<TITLE〉and</TITLE 〉, the text paragraph begins<P in the expression file〉and</P 〉, row stops<BR in the expression text〉and</BR 〉, expression link anchor point and hypertext are quoted<AHREF〉and</A 〉, the expression table<TABLE〉and</TABLE 〉, expression table row<TR〉and</TR 〉, expression table data<TD〉and</TD 〉, indication browser display image<IMG SRC 〉, text type color<FONT COLOR is specified in control〉and</FONT 〉, text<B is specified in overstriking〉and</B 〉, determine such as check box, button, drop-down menu and so on input method<INPUT TYPE 〉, define certain frame or a few frame parameters<FRAMESET, stipulate each content frame<FRAME and</FRAME, with image pack into certain frame<FRAME SRC, control Web page boundary<MARGIN 〉, adjust certain literal on the Web page or leaf<ALIGN and</ALIGN, insert horizontal space and vertical space<HSPACE and</VSPACE, file be embedded in the image<EMBED SRC, in file, insert hierarchical object<LAYER (Netscape Navigator4.0 or more highest version), and numerous other marks.Many indicia designs become can be nested against one another, so that the enhancement mode object to be provided.Therefore, for example, by at<A HREF〉place IMG SRC mark in the mark, just can create the image that can overlap.Certainly, more than just demonstration of tabulation, this is because HTML is a kind of language of evolving.
According to the present invention, HTTP caching proxy comprises strobe utility 229, this strobe utility receives the Web file according to html formatization, determine HTML mark (such as above-mentioned mark), and the Web file is carried out format conversion by certain feature or some feature of revising original HTML, will be sent to browser through the Web file of revising subsequently and show.Process flow diagram general description shown in Figure 5 should operation.This operates in step 231 beginning, asks via the HTTPGET that computer network sends with response.In step 233, whether test receives with HTTP GET from above network and asks corresponding Web file.If the test result of step 233 is not, then this routine will circulate and wait for that the Web file arrives.If the test result of step 233 is then tested in step 235 for being, to determine whether " dynamic HTML " function is effective.According to the present invention,, just can start the dynamic HTML function in case allocate event occurs.Alternatively, if use browser, just can select to start this function with the Web device.Can be at certain type Web file or at specifying certain information flag type in the Web file to start this function.In some cases, for example, when needs filter some content.Certainly, can use the combination in any of above-mentioned condition, determine when effective this function is.
Shown in the negative decision of testing in step 235, if the dynamic HTML function is invalid, then routine is transferred to step 241, and the Web file (unmodified) that will retrieve is transmitted back to browser.Yet shown in the positive result of testing in step 235, if the dynamic HTML function is effective, routine is extended to step 237, so that this Web file is carried out grammatical analysis.Usually, this step comprises to be determined html format and may need other information of adding, revise or changing, so that the outward appearance of change this document on browser.In step 239,, the Web file is carried out format conversion with filtering characteristic according to appointment by filter application grammatical analysis information.Below the example how strobe utility works will be described.Usually, by the system definition filtering characteristic, still, the user also can utilize remote control equipment definition characteristic specified.Subsequently, this routine is extended to step 241, with the browser of Web file (under the modification situation) transmission.Thereby finished processing.
Can be automatically or under the control of user's input, retrieved the grammatical analysis of HTML and carried out the filtration treatment relevant with this HTML.Thereby agency 225 provides " apperance and the sensation " of the data that receive from Web server is controlled.Therefore, as just example, utilize HTTP caching proxy 225 control prospects and background color, do not consider that font and font size, control show profile (being the retaining space on the display), other URL of demonstration, increase link, revise link, increase or polish the manuscripts, embed the frame on sound, animation, video and/or alternative document, the increase/deletion/reconstruct Web page or leaf and/or control text/tableau format in the current Web page or leaf.Since only be example below, can also revise other features of Web page or leaf.
Process flow diagram among Fig. 6 describes the general implementation of strobe utility in detail.This routine extracts the HTML mark from step 160 in this step from the Web file that carries out grammatical analysis.Testing in step 162, still is to replace this mark so that determine deletion.For example, when the user wishes deletion " framing " file, preferably delete flag.When web content is positioned on the display of televisor away from spectators and so on, wish this mark of deletion especially.If do not delete these frames, then the content in the particular frame will be too little, so that can not read in distance so far away.By deletion<FRAME〉and associated mark, can carry out simple and effective format conversion to this web content, and show this content (for example, with given frame order).If in the test result of step 162 for being that then this routine is transferred to step 164.Consider above example, in step 164, delete in this Web file<FRAME mark, keeps the conventional text of the HTML relevant to comprise in flowing as html data with this frame.Certainly, just in order to illustrate, the type of action that takes place in step 164 will finally depend on the purpose of deleting assigned tags in step 162 to this special case.
If the test result in step 162 is not, perhaps after step 164, just test, so that determine whether the flag attribute that desired modifications extracts in step 160 in step 166.If the test result of step 166 is for being, then this routine is transferred to step 168, wherein takes action in step 168.Therefore, in step 168, can change the prospect of this document or background color (for example, as shown in Figure 8), can change the color of particular image, also can change the font or the font size of some text, or the like.If the test result of step 166 is that perhaps after step 168, then this routine is not extended to step 170, so that determine whether before or after step 160 extracts the HTML mark, to insert new HTML mark.Insert new HTML mark if desired, this routine is just transferred to step 172.In step 172, insert new mark, for example, embed the data of one or more following types: the plug-in unit of sound, image, special-purpose purpose (so that on this Web page or leaf retaining space (as described below)) or embed other html datas (so that the frame format conversion is provided).
If the test result of step 170 is that perhaps after step 172, then this routine is not extended to step 174, whether finished filtration treatment in step 174 test.If do not finish filtration treatment, then this routine turns back to step 160 and obtains next mark.Yet if the test result of step 174 is for being, this routine is transferred to step 176, returns html stream through revising to the customer's representative of speed buffering.Thereby finished processing.
Referring now to Fig. 7,, Fig. 7 represents to send HTTP GET when request, the process flow diagram of detail operations of the present invention when browser to server.As mentioned above, suppose in client with the speed buffering Configuration Agent.In step 250, browser receives certain user's input of relevant Web data.For example, the user wishes to obtain being positioned at certain the Web page or leaf on the server.This Web page or leaf may be also may be in speed buffering.In step 252, browser is clearly expressed HTTP GET request, and utilizes socket mechanism 231 to transmit this request.In step 254, the above HTTP GET request of acting server 225 " intercepting and capturing ".Subsequently, test, to determine whether there is the file of being asked in the speed buffering 227 (or, alternatively, browser speed buffering) in step 256.If the test result of step 256 is for being that then this routine is extended to step 258, with retrieving information from speed buffering.This agency can handle information by retrieval, so that how change or interpolation show above information on user interface.Therefore, for example, can use strobe utility 229 change in a manner described data font, increase sound or with form array data of certain form or the like.In step 262, this routine is transmitted back to browser with above data (these data may be passed through or not process modification, interpolation or reorganization).Browser not " clear " has been handled this GET request in this locality.Subsequently, on this browser, show above information, and this routine finishes in step 264.
On the other hand, if the test result of step 256 is not (that is, owing to do not have this document in the speed buffering, even or to have this document, this document also be out-of-date), then this routine is transferred to step 266, to send the HTTP request to network.In step 268, return institute's information requested from being positioned at server 12 on the network (rather than via speed buffering from the agency).Subsequently, this routine is extended to step 269, and by above-mentioned dynamic HTML function, uses agency 225 (particularly, using strobe utility 229) to revise display message, and is as described above.After having revised this Web page or leaf, be preferably in step 271 and will return through the Web page or leaf of revising and deposit in the speed buffering, so that the user reuses this Web page or leaf when wishing to visit this Web page or leaf again sometime subsequently.After will storing in the speed buffering through the Web page or leaf of revising, this routine be extended to step 262, so that Web data (in the mode of revising) are turned back to browser.In step 264, on browser, show Web page or leaf through revising.
When being preferably in guiding Web device, start the agency.Send the HTTP request by configure browser to the agency, utilize the interconnection between socket mechanism realization agency and the browser.In order to send HTTP GET request, browser is created a packet (comprising URL and other information), utilizes socket mechanism to open a socket subsequently.Then, above packet is sent to the IP address/port number, to serve this HTTP request.Like this, when browser sent HTTP GET request, browser was just bound this socket and is sent this request.Subsequently, the agency intercepts and captures and handles this request in top described mode, rather than directly sends this request through network.
But the agency can be one section independent code or download code, and the Web file via the computer network retrieval is intercepted and captured and filtered to this code.Before data are turned back to browser, utilize this agents modify and/or handle this data, so that on the interface, show.Thereby can revise, add or reorganization data font or demonstration at specific display environment.Therefore, this agency provides and has strengthened the useful tool of " apperance and the sensation " of video data on the browser, and can customize UI according to the Web device context.
The simple examples of the flowcharting dynamic HTML function among Fig. 8.In this example, suppose the background color of the Web file that shows on the desired modifications browser, promptly from black " #000000 " (R:000, G:000, B:000) be revised as evergreen look " #339999 " (R:051, G:153, B:153).As mentioned above, (specify Web page or leaf in)<BODY BGCOLOR〉mark and relevant numerical attribute thereof control above feature.This routine by the retrieval of request Web file from step 243.Suppose that the dynamic HTML function is effective to specific request.In step 245, syntax analyzer is determined<BODY BGCOLOR〉mark.In step 247, the property value that the filtrator substitution is new.(certainly, execution in step 245 and step 247) simultaneously.In step 249, will be sent to browser through the Web file of revising (having new BODY BGCOLOR flag attribute) and show.
Described filtering characteristic is carried out similar operations.Certainly, can predict, filtrator will comprise the tabulation of one or several " action ", and these actions are implemented the Web file, and this tabulation can change with the variation of one or several allocate event or file type.Therefore, for example, first tabulation is used for the color of revised file, and second tabulation is used for the text justification mode of revised file, and the 3rd tabulation is used for text interval of revised file or the like.In other words, particular list may comprise the different control action of any amount of carrying out at retrieving files.Other examples that html format is revised are in the scope that those skilled in the art can reach.Therefore, for example, if in a single day the scroll bar on the hope deletion display then runs into the SCROLL attribute in comprising the html data stream of this Web file, just this attribute is set to " NO ".If the user dislikes the style of rolling, then in case run into<MARQUEE〉mark, just wherein relevant LOOP=INFINITE attribute is replaced into LOOP=1.
In a kind of preferred forms, realize the present invention at " front end " of browser.Yet, as described below, can in based on the system of server, realize some function provided by the invention equally.Fig. 9 was illustrated in before browser transmits the Web file, was used to intercept and capture the Web file, and inserted the basic operation of the agency mechanism of the present invention of some control information in data stream.The similar mechanism that can realize in acting server below will be described.
As shown in Figure 9, browser 223 is on certain specified machine (that is, have the personal computer of its oneself display system, the computer system relevant with the Web device etc., wherein the Web device has relevant televisor display device).The data stream 180 that receives from computer network comprises the Web file that is embedded in the data stream, and in a manner described, according to some the mark language such as HTML this Web file is formatd.Agency 225 intercepts and captures the data stream 180 that receives, and acts on behalf of 225 simultaneously and also plays following effect, is about to new control information and is inserted in this data stream, so that how influence finally shows this web content on browser.A kind of control information of particular type is set for the appointment viewing area 182 that keeps on the display screen.
Referring now to Figure 10,, the figure shows the process flow diagram that utilizes viewing area 182 to show the reserve area function of given content.Given content preferably is not the partial content of the Web file of this machine reception, but the content that some Back Up Source provides, the perhaps content (that is status information or the like) of client generation itself.When the server from outfit Web file received the data stream that comprises the Web file, this method began in step 184.In the acting server embodiment, can be equipped with the Web file at server itself.In step 186, before transmitting this data stream, intercept and capture this data stream, and this data stream is carried out grammatical analysis, so that determine the formatted message that this Web file is interior to browser.After this,, in data stream, insert some control information, thereby when showing this Web file on browser, the reserve part viewing area is to show given content in step 188.This zone is the described area part 182 among Fig. 9.Turn back to the process flow diagram among Figure 10,, this Web file is sent to browser with control information subsequently in step 190.In step 192, on the viewing area, show this Web file (with alter mode) at last.
Be inserted into the control information in the data stream, preferably can stop and in keeping the viewing area, show above Web file.In fact, utilize above technology, the Web file will reflux around the reserved area, thereby can utilize the content of space demonstration such as emergent message, state message, advertisement, other Web pages or leaves etc.
Those skilled in the art understand that the application-specific of the technology of the present invention is very inequality.As mentioned above, in some cases, this device may be wished " seizing " part browse displays zone, so that show so-called " display object " in reserve area.According to the present invention, display object can be any text, figure, animation or other guide (that is, emergent message, text message, advertisement etc.).The object that is inserted in the Web file can be audio data stream.On the other hand, display object can be the blank parts of display screen.Therefore, for example, the user may wish deletion or cover some text or image (as, advertising sign).In fact, in above situation, display object is deleted above content from display screen.Yet above example only is demonstration.Many other are used all within the scope of the invention.
Be understandable that, the invention enables the author of Web page or leaf can generate the Web page or leaf of single version, wherein can on numerous dissimilar display system platforms, coordinate to show this Web page or leaf.This mainly is because the agency has played following effect: promptly intercept and capture Web file (or its member), this Web file is carried out format conversion, and/or insert new control information, how to show this document so that revise on browser.In fact, this operation shield the difference between various display systems, browser, operating system or the like.In order to simplify above operation, the agency preferably includes " discovery " function, thereby can use (utilizing one or several display panel by system or user) this function to determine the specific display characteristic or the feature of display system.Subsequently, the agency can use this information corresponding " transformation of the way " particular Web file to show, to optimize " apperance and the sensation " of Web file.
Hereinafter with reference to flowchart text example discover method shown in Figure 11.During initialization process, begin this routine in step 300.In step 302, the user has the selection of finding display system feature (that is, the type of the display resolution type of the type of operating system, browser, video adapter parameter, video driver, type of accelerator card or the like).If existing operating system program provides this function, then can realize this function by it.In step 304, the initialization discovery feature, and retrieve corresponding data.In step 306, estimate this data, in step 308, the agency connects above result and certain display systems type.Different display system types will connect with the various display system configurations that may exist.In step 310, use specific display system type to provide input, thereby change a social system this filtrator, with the indicating characteristic of realizing wishing in suitable mode to strobe utility.If desired, discover method can also point out the user to import one or more display parameter, uses this parameter to generate the display system type subsequently.
Can in acting server, realize technology of the present invention.Therefore, can server within the scope of the present invention in, embody one or more functions relevant with HTTP caching proxy.Referring now to Figure 12,, Figure 12 represents a kind of block diagram of such system.This system comprises acting server 325, and acting server 325 has connected plurality of client machine 327.This acting server can be private server (that is, being positioned at the server at ISP place), or is positioned at the server of particular Web website.As mentioned above, certain or some client computer 327 can have different display system features.Under this kind situation, certain or some client computer can use discovery procedure (shown in the process flow diagram that Figure 11 plants) or additive method to determine their " display system type ".Provide above information (for example, utilizing CGI layout technology etc.) to acting server 325 subsequently, thereby acting server can customize the data stream that offers particular customer.Particularly, acting server 325 will comprise " master " strobe utility, wherein can adjust this mechanism according to the certain display systems type (at given client) relevant with client computer.Those skilled in the art are appreciated that with conventional Web device and realize comparing that this system has numerous advantages, and wherein each client can receive identical content (and with identical form) and have nothing to do with the display system type.System shown in Figure 12 has the display message (according to telling about herein) of the customization that offers some client.In addition, acting server can transmit and filter html format, thereby simplifies content modification of the present invention.
